RI 2980 Coke As A Domestic Heating Fuel

[This paper sets forth the burning characteristics of coke used as a domestic fuel as shown by work of the U. S. Bureau of Mines and others. Coke is a truly smokeless solid fuel and is held in high regard for this quality. Ways are being found for making commercial coke from a wider range of cools than heretofore, and tale use of coke for domestic heating is increasing. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The experimental work reported in this paper was conducted at the Pittsburgh Experiment Station of the U. S. Bureau of Mines cinder the authority of O. P. Hood, chief mechanical engineer; M. L. Orr, assistant feels engineer, and W. M. Brewer, junior fuels engineer, assisted by Charles Schramm cooperated in making the tests.]
